The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1rPHGANY--E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">60-second spot<\/a>\u00a0was released Wednesday and will run on Facebook and YouTube for about 10 days, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/556680-club-for-growth-bashes-cnn-in-social-media-ad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a> reported Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cable News Network used to break news,&#8221; the ad states in its opening lines. &#8220;Now they&#8217;re breaking records losing nearly 70% of their viewers since President Trump left office. And no wonder. They\u2019re still obsessed with Donald Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Kildea, VP of communications at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubforgrowth.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Club for Growth<\/a>, said the ad\u00a0will be targeted at conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about giving them a voice and hopefully bringing change,&#8221; Kildea told The Hill. &#8220;The ad drives users to a standard activist dashboard-style page which allows them to send CNN a message.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CNN had not responded to requests for comment about the ad from The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>The spot includes edited clips of CNN reports showing network correspondents and anchors making positive comments about Biden.<\/p>\n<p>As the ad ends, it shows Biden both at his Oval Office desk and clapping before a joint session of Congress with the words: &#8220;So if you\u2019re looking for hard news on rising inflation, hacked pipelines, and dreadful job reports, or hard-hitting face checks on Biden\u2019s radical new plan to make things worse, change the channel. Everyone else has. Tell CNN cover the news and stop cheerleading for liberal politicians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ad accuses CNN anchor Chris Cuomo of helping his &#8220;big brother cover up scandals,&#8221; referring to coverage of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y. It also insults CNN anchor Don Lemon by saying he &#8220;is still a loser.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From just about every perspective CNN has reached a new low as they\u2019ve seen both their ratings and credibility crater,&#8221; Club for Growth President David McIntosh said. &#8220;We encourage the few Americans who still watch CNN to send the network a note and also change the channel \u2013 everyone else has.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Hill reported that while CNN has lost viewers, cable news ratings overall appear to be returning to pre-2020 levels \u2014\u00a0before COVID-19, racial unrest, and the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Club for Growth\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/club4growth\/status\/1400111454141964293\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a> news of its ad Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NEW: @club4growth launches digital ad highlighting @CNN\u2019s continued obsession with Trump, its covering for the many failures of liberal leaders like President @JoeBiden and NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and the network breaking records with low ratings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Club for Growth previously said it would target some of Trump&#8217;s critics in future elections. They included Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio, who voted to impeach the former president.<\/p>\n<p>On its website, Club for Growth describes itself as a national network of over 250,000 pro-growth, limited government Americans who share in the belief that prosperity and opportunity come from economic freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The conservative group Club for Growth has financed an ad slamming CNN for being obsessed with former President Donald Trump and providing biased coverage of President Joe Biden.
